The Luleå biennal's fourth issue of the Lulu-journal takes DAI tutor Ruth Noack's research on subversion in sleep and dreaming as its point of departure. Materials for this edition were collected for the first time for DAI's Roaming Assembly #20 “Between Subversion and Hallucination” in March 2018 and for a series of exhibition sketches called “Sleeping with a Vengeance, Dreaming of a Life”, which opened in Athens during DAI's COOP SUMMIT 2018 and then traveled to Prague and Beijing.

The Luleå biennal's fourth issue of the Lulu-journal takes Ruth Noack's research on subversion in sleep and dreaming as its point of departure, practices that help us envision life as we would like to live it.

Ruth Noack is trained as a visual artist and art historian working in Berlin. She has worked as author, art critic, university lecturer and exhibition maker since the 90s

Lulu-journalLulu is how Luleå first appeared in writing in 1327, a name of Sami origin that can be translated as "Eastern Water". This is the title of the Luleå Biennial's journal, published once a month from August 2018 through February 2019. Across seven issues, through text, image and film, readers are offered different points of entry to the biennial's overall theme: the dark landscape. All issues take as their starting point a public artwork in Norrbotten. The Lulu journal is made by the biennial's artistic directors and invited guest editors. It is published on the biennial's website and can be downloaded for printing.
